OVERVIEW
In the initial years, the child’s brain undergoes major development at a rapid pace. With an aim to incorporate maximum learning at this stage, we have constructed a unique curriculum for our Early Years Program(EYP) students of Pre-Nursery, Nursery, K1, K2, Grade I and Grade II. The tiny tots of our EYP classes hold enormous talent waiting to be sparked through just the right push that they need.
The vibrant learning environment for the EYP children, is a mix of several methodologies such as Montessori, Play-way theory etc. These when combined together, make their journey a bright and colorful one. We focus on strengthening the foundation of learning by encouraging curiosity and independent thinking in the classrooms. Each child is motivated to ask questions and experience the learning first hand. Our multi-sensory learning approach looks after the overall development of the child.
We have a wide range of in-house decodable books namely ‘Sound Crackers’, where through a creative approach of phonetics, we ensure our students with fluency in reading. Each alphabet is introduced to the students as a story through visual and audio aids. Similarly, Numeracy is taught with hands-on learning approach, through creative numeric toys and kits.
TEACHING METHODOLOGY
Our teaching methodology is a combination of international teaching methods and basic concepts of traditional values. Each classroom has its own learning culture encouraging creative and application-based learning.
The Transition period from EYP to Primary is very challenging for a child. To ease this process we have included Grades I & II in Early Years Program, where a child can make use of his EYP skills in Primary classes. This ensures each student in Early Year Program instills a habit of learning the basic concepts of each subject.
Young minds are easily impressionable which is why we intend to make them comfortable in stepping out of their comfort zones to learn and prosper.
